My project was over the tropical rainforest biome. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round... warmth. An average of 50-260 inches (125-660) cm of rain falls yearly. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world.

There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as...
